pit bull

We always want to do what's best, or even the best thing for our pets. Getting the best products, best beds, best play times. But sometimes it's just never enough time. Sometimes time is taken from us. And so we make the time we have left with them, the best of their lives. That's exactly what one couple did for their best friend. This is her story...

"This is a photo series I shot back in August in Assateague, Maryland. My boyfriend Christian, and I took our three pups on an overnight stay at the beach. We dedicated the trip to our 11 year old American Staffordshire Terrier, Dyuki (Mr. Dukes). He was in his final stages of Grade III mast cell cancer at the time. His most favorite activity was swimming in our family pool, but until then, he had never seen the ocean. It was a very special trip for us, and I'm so grateful we were able to make it happen. He passed away a month later, but he put up one hell of a fight—almost two years."

On August 3rd, firefighters of the City of Newburgh Fire Department in New York were called to the second floor fire of a three-story apartment building in downtown Newburgh. Once there, they were told by the residents that two puppies (pit bulls) were left behind.
